Right, we can't ever expect the masses to learn advanced skills that will be needed in the next cyclic revolution. This has to be the most negative thing I have heard all month. It's akin to saying, 'Our people are so incapable of moving with the times, we just have to throw them food.'

The assumption is that as automation goes up, demand for people with even "advanced skills" goes down.

That is, if all N billion of us "[move] with the times", then the jobs still won't be there for us to fill.
